From cd5d503862b0d0d927c56ef2e34d3ededac88039 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paolo Bonzini Date: Tue, 3 Jul 2012 15:19:37 +0200 Subject: virtio-blk: allow toggling host cache between writeback and writethrough This patch adds support for the new VIRTIO_BLK_F_CONFIG_WCE feature, which exposes the cache mode in the configuration space and lets the driver modify it. The cache mode is exposed via sysfs. Even if the host does not support the new feature, the cache mode is visible (thanks to the existing VIRTIO_BLK_F_WCE), but not modifiable.
